Seemingly useless code
is there EVER any point to code like this:
Maybe to avoid dirtying the cache, or something like this?

NullPointerException
I don't see a point to that code at all. If x is already equal to y, you skip the assignment. If it's not equal to y, it will be afterwards. So why test? Just assign the value and move on.
Maybe somebody can make an argument that a boolean test exectues faster than an assignment, but this is as case where code readability would trump the microsecond that might be saved.

It's only when you look at an ant through a magnifying glass on a sunny day that you realise how often they burst into flames.

Useless. Probably does execute faster the times that x==y, but honestly how much difference could that possibly make?
